High turn over is often by design, especially in low wage work like fast food or retail. It keeps wages low and benefits non-existent.
The only time a company will want to retain someone is in highly specialized areas where there are few people capable of doing the work. If it's typical rank-and-file work where any warm body will suffice they do not care much about turnover.
My supervisor just lost the 12th employee. Our team only made up of of 6-7 people. My supervisor has lost these employees in approx 3-4 yrs timeframe. Only one has left non-disgruntled or own their own terms or with no ill will toward said supervisor or company.
My supervisor sucks, plain and simple, as does the supervisor above Neither have much oversight on their daily activities and both continue to pulled the “wool” over the upper management’s eyes for so long. (We believe it’s that as these people at the very top can’t truly be this naive and stupid, can they?)
Acoording to my supervisor and the super above, It’s always an outside factor causing employees to leave, or they weren’t the right fit” or weren’t dedicated, etc. Hm...... ...none of my supervisors peers have this problem with their teams, only my supervisor. I firmly believe the adage people leave bad managers, not companies. I am currently the senior person with less than 3 yrs. I’m feel so desperate to get out

Its all too common these days. The blame lies on upper management. The fact they are doing nothing about it or looking into why there is such a high turnover under this supervisor is inexcusable. Its unbelievable how long companies will sit there and let hords of people walk out and cause costly turnover issues (along with talent and experience gone) while not figuring out WHY its happening for years.
How do you let things go on like this for 3-4 years and do nothing about it?
High turnover is never good. As a manager, you constantly have to train a new person, which gets frustrating because you have to suffer trough the new person not knowing anything until they get used to it, which is frustrating. They ask you a million questions, you constantly have to check on their work to make sure it's done correctly, and you can't get your own work done because you have to train them. I've only had to train 1 person so far and I already hate it. Seriously, I wish people were born knowing how to do this job when they show up. Ha ha.
